Alexis' Whole World (so far)

Ages ago, in 2011, when dinosaurs roamed the earth, I published a map of my world, completed to that time. I've tried to update that map, but blogger didn't have the memory to let me post a decent image that big.

But they just recently changed their formatting with pictures, so I've put this together, hoping it would fit on the blog. It does!

99% of my present completed world, on one map
(a few edges are cut off)

Such fun.

A fairly decent, albeit blurry version of the map can be seen on the wiki, by clicking the map there. I simply haven't the computer power to produce a map of this size any clearer than this - with it being 20mb in size. It does look infinitely better on the blogger than it does opening it in your browser.

This is great work! I always wondered, and this may have been answered back in ye olde 2011, but is there a high-res version of this map? I know that deviantart's sta.sh is a fantastic tool I use to upload my large maps!

Additional Content

Began playing Dungeons and Dragons at the age of 15, thirty-eight years ago. I am a steadfast AD&D gamer, but I have made so many changes to the original system that my present model is something of a Frankenstein's monster of role-playing design. I continue to make new changes every day to my game's structure and function.

The Net has described me as a 'mad scientist of RPG blogging,' and a 'Quixotic bastard' ... and also 'the most gonzo - and the grouchiest - old school DM.'

Progress on The Fifth Man

For a period going forward, I will be rewriting the last third of the book as a second draft. I will begin recording that progress also as soon as I pick up the task again. It has been more than two weeks now and I apologize to my backers; but rest assured, I'm sorting myself out and I'll get started again soon.

Progress on the third draft, finalized (will likely be some continuity fixes) stand as follows:

June 29, 2017

Distance yesterday: 0 words

Total distance: 75,490

Chapter in progress: 17
